Introduction to Choreography

This studio course will introduce students to choreographic processes and questions of movement vocabulary, structure, pacing, orchestration and meaning. Through completing a number of short dances and a substantial final project, the class will explore choreographic forms and innovations found in contemporary dance. Readings and viewings work in tandem with students’ dance-making to fuel debate and analysis of today’s choreographic work and the power of movement to engage in current artistic and political issues such as identity, gender, race, power and control.
